Welcome to the group! It is not required by law for homeschooled students in Alberta to keep records, nonetheless, it is deemed highly appropriate and beneficial to keep a homeschooling portfolio for your child’s progress year to year. This information is crucial when it comes to developing a high school transcript for future college or career needs or in the event the homeschooler needs to return to school for any reason.

As a parent, you might want to consider things worth keeping record of. A few suggestions for you:

• For any standardized assessments taken, keep record of the scores

• The grades by subject received by the student

• The subject work covered at each grade level

• Other achievements of the student including extracurricular activities the student participated in

• Any volunteer work the student performed while homeschooling

Welcome to the homeschooling world! No, it is not a requirement by law to maintain records when homeschooling. I recommend the Lernsys program.
